REASON FOR THE SEASON

The rain is coming the air is brisk
The summer has past by way to fast
As we all know winter is near
I am wondering how long it will last

The trees have lost their beauty
It fell upon the ground
To soon for me as I look to the sky
They are each trees beautiful crown

As the LORD changes all the seasons
We like to complain sometime
It’s either to hot or to cold
But each has their very own sign

Sometimes we see the seasons
For just things that we can do
Remember the LORD has his reason
For giving them to me and you

So now I look out and see the rain
And think yes this day is good
We need this too for all the things
So be happy like we should

Winter is also GODS beauty
The snow falls gently some days
This too has a reason to be here
LET me thank HIM today as I pray

When the LORD Talks

If I get up in the morning
And in my heart I know
The words the LORD has put there
To the computer I must go

Sometimes the words will flow so nice
Sometimes I wait for a sign
But soon the words come in my heart
I just know they are HIS not mine

I sit down now to write these things
That I feel are there for me
Sometimes the tears will even fall
When I see the words I read

Some one will say I don’t know how
You write so many things
The LORD gives me all I need
It’s to HIM I praise and sing

HE is my LORD and SAVIOR
Let me always let HIM know
Just how I love and praise HIM
With each word please let it show

TEACH THE CHILDREN

JESUS HELP ME TEACH THE CHILDREN
JUST WHAT LOVE SHOULD REALLY MEAN
THE DAYS JUST SEEM TOO BE ALL WRONG
WITH THE THING ‘S WE DO IT SEEMS

WE WORK TO HARD FOR ALL THE THINGS
THAT WE DON’T REALLY NEED
WE DON’T TAKE TIME TO KNEEL AND PRAY
TO HELP JESUS PLANT FAITHS SEED

PLEASE HELP TO TEACH THE CHILDREN
HOW TO HAVE A HEART THAT SHARES
SHOW THEM WHEN YOUR DAY HAS ENDED
HOW TO KNEEL WITH THEM IN PRAYER

EACH PARENT HAS A JOB TO DO
THE LORD BLESSED THEM WITH EACH CHILD
DON'T GIVE UP THAT PRECIOUS BLESSING
WALK WITH JESUS EACH AND EVERY MILE

IRISH BLESSING

DID YOU EVER THINK OF
AN IRISH BLESSING
WHAT THAT WOULD REALLY BE
THE LORD KNEW I NEEDED ONE
SO HE SENT THIS ONE TO ME

THIS IRISH BLESSING IS THERE
FOR ME
WHEN EVER I NEED A SMILE
IT DOESN’T MATTER FAR OR NEAR
THE LORD DOESN’T LOOK AT MILES

SO IF YOU ARE SAD OR LONELY
AND NEED SOMETHING TO HELP
YOU THROUGH
ASK THE LORD TO GIVE YOU
AN IRISH BLESSING JUST LIKE YOU

DID YOU EVER WONDER

DID YOU EVER WONDER
HOW THINGS WOULD REALLY BE
IF NO ONE KNEW OUR LORD AND
OUR EYES WOULD NEVER SEE

THE BEAUTY ON THIS EARTH HE MADE
AND ALL THE THINGS WITH IN
HOW SAD MY LIFE WOULD REALLY BE
WITH JUST A WORLD OF SIN

WITH ONLY SINFUL WAYS TO SEE
NO PRAYER TO HELP US THROUGH
MY LIFE WOULD BE JUST SUCH A WASTE
WITH NO LOVE FOR ME AND YOU

HE LOVED EACH ONE OF US SO MUCH
HE GAVE ALL HE HAD TO GIVE
BUT NO ONE CARED JUST WHAT HE GAVE
SO SIN IS HOW WE LIVED

GOD KNEW WE WOULD NOT SHARE HIS HEAVEN
A SAVIOR WAS OUR GREATEST NEED
SO HE GAVE WITH LOVE HIS ONLY SON
SO OUR SOULS WOULD THEN BE FREED

PLEASE TAKE THE TIME TO STOP AND THINK
JUST WHAT THIS WORLD WOULD BE
IF ALL OUR LIFE WE DID NOT KNOW
GODS LOVE FOR YOU AND ME
